Curious about internet using cellphone

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

I subscribe to very expensive data plan at T-mobile (Not that I am proud of that). I use T-Mobile Shadow. But I really felt that I was missing out on stuff. There has to be so much more I can do with the cellphone web. And, so, I started my own cellphone portal at daigo.mobi. [...]

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

I have been trying to install Xubuntu on G3/333 but to no avail at this point. Sort I should take memo here so that at least it will all be in one place.

Server setup

Monday, October 27th, 2008

Just a running memo for myself, as I struggle to set up my ubuntu server…

Crap. Server edition doesn’t have any GUI. I guess that is why it is called server edition. Doing install over with Desktop Edition.
I just need SSH, LAMP environment and Samba. Mythbuntu has those already, but Ubuntu Desktop doesn’t seem [...]

Renewed appreciation for my iPod video

Friday, January 18th, 2008

It took me a while to figure it out, so just a memo…
I got 5th generation iPod with video capability, but I always felt that I am not using it to its capacity.

Upgrading the WordPress installation

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

I have many WordPress 2.0.1 installations on my computer. I need to upgrade them to 2.2.1… Here is my notes on what I did and what happened. I was able to upgrade this blog to 2.2.1, but I had problem with my Japanese language websites.

Upgrading Drupal

Thursday, July 12th, 2007

I have to admit that I was lazy and have not upgraded one of my Japanese language Drupal site since it was installed in 4.5.0 some time in 2004. I have finally gotten around to think about upgrading. Well, stupifd comment spam forced me to upgrade, to tell you the truth.
But since Drupal went through [...]

Today’s Flash “gotcha” that wasted me hours…

Friday, October 20th, 2006

These days, I am wrestling with Action Script a lot…

I couldn’t move between scenes from a universal navigation component… Why Doesn’t _root.gotoAndPlay() Work with Scenes? Lessons learned: don’t use _root, or scenes (too much, anyway)
setInterval. Macromedia site
Cool trick: Creating a Toggle Button with ActionScript

I am starting to buying into the whole ActionScript stuff…

MI Edit rocks!

Thursday, July 20th, 2006

I am working on this sort of fun project which involves using Zen-Cart, open source shopping cart, but in Japanese. (BTW, for Japanese language pack, this support thread was very useful… Thank you Shida-san of Japanese language support group). During this process, I hit a minor problem. Zen cart send out an e-mail alerts (such [...]

However there is something that has bothering me for a quite a while. I use WordPress for creating [...]
